It was about noon when the boys were called in for rehearsal. Alisha had left an hour after breakfast. She was surprisingly kind, and it seems like Harry has quite a thing for her.

I sat alone in the stands of the gigantic stadium, watching the boys mess around on stage. I pull out my video camera and turn the screen so I can video tape myself.

"Day two on this beautiful tour. Things got a bit hectic last night. My head was spinning, but today is a new day. I am sitting in the stands of an oversized stadium watching five idiots trip over their own feet! My life has been turned upside down because of these boys. I know you guys want to get to know them for real, so let me show you," I pause my recording and sneak closer to the stage.

The boys don't pay me any attention as I get amazing footage of them all. I can already picture my edited video...

I turn the camera back towards me.

"I will upload a singing video with Zayn tomorrow, and I will have an interview with him for you all! See you soon my pretties," I wave at the camera and shut it off.

"Andy! Come join us! See what it's like to be a superstar!" Niall yells to me.

I roll my eyes at the wacky Irish boy. My feet carry me over to the edge of the stage. Niall and Zayn pull me up onto the stage. We are standing right in the middle of the stage.

"Got any songs you want to sing?" Harry smirks as he hands me a working microphone.

"Actually," I smirk back.

I jog over to the guitarist and hand him the music to Midnight Memories. I haven't let any of the boys touch my song book, so they don't know about this song.

The introduction to the song plays, and I brace myself. As soon as the right moments hit, the words flow out of my mouth almost naturally. I watch as the boys stare in awe. I get to the end of the song and wait for their feedback.

"Andy, did you write that?" Liam asks.

I nod my head, too out of breath to answer with words.

"It-it was amazing!" he praises.

My face breaks into a smile. Liam rushes over and pulls me into a hug. At first, I don't hug back, yet I can't help but share his excitement.

"Pleeeeeeeaaaase let us use that on our next album!" Niall begs over Liam's shoulder.

Liam pulls away and nods frantically. I stare at their pouty faces. A laugh escapes my lips.

"Of course you can use it! I will give you guys a copy of the lyrics eventually," I laugh.

They have a mini celebration before getting back to their rehearsal. They sing 11 songs before we finally get to leave.

"Let's go get some food!" Niall yells as he jumps off the stage.

As he lands, he lets out a hiss of pain.

"Niall!" I shout, rushing after him.

He is laying on the ground with his hands holding his knee. Louis carefully jumps down from the stage to get a better look.

"You alright, mate?" he asks, kneeling down next to Niall.

Niall shakes his head and says that he hurt his knee. The rest of the boys soon gather around him.

"Okay, on the count of three we lift him up," Louis says to Harry," One, Two, Three."

I watch as Harry and Louis work together to get Niall painlessly off the ground. A few feet away, Zayn is on the phone with their private doctor.

"Okay, Dr. Candy says that we just need to get him back to the hotel, and don't let him put any pressure on his leg," Zayn says once he hangs up.

Louis and Harry just nod as they try to get Niall to the exit. I grab their bags and hurry after them. Liam and Zayn talk to the producers before rushing after us.

The world seemed to slow down as we all rushed out. My heart began to beat harder with each step I took. My mind was racing. Sure this wasn't a life or death situation, but everyone was in a mini panic mode.

Louis and Harry slide Niall into the backseat of the SUV. Liam jumped upfront next to the driver. Louis and I carefully climb over Niall into the very back. Zayn and Harry carefully climb in next to Niall.

The driver takes his time getting us back to the hotel. My mind goes over all the possibilities of what happened to Niall's knee.

"Andy, I'm going to be fine. Please stop freaking out," Niall says calmly from in front of me.

I freeze in my place.

"Was I saying that all out loud?" I ask quietly.

"Yes!" They all say together.

I shrink back into my seat and look out my window. Too bad I'm so easily shaken up.
